The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

As for Hart's follow-up, it's not that Li doesn't want to get involved, but this matter is not his responsibility.

Li is not one of the victims, nor is he the person in charge of this matter. This is the job of the City Guards. If Li did it, what would the City Guards do?

"It is said that the goddess has compassion on the world. If the goddess sees a poor and suffering person, she will run over to help him. The goddess can only help a dozen people at most in a day. What about the other suffering people? Will they wait in line for the goddess' care?"

Xiaoli covered her head in frustration, silently enduring Li's lecture.

"You have to know that everyone has a purpose and everyone should do their own job well. The reason why various problems and grievances arise is that some people did not do their job well, which led to loopholes and gaps."

"Brother Li, I understand. Whoever should do the job should do it. Taking on too much is not a hero, it's a saint!"

Xiaoli looked as if she had suddenly understood something and even learned to answer questions quickly.

Li gave her a thumbs up, then his expression changed.

"That's a good answer. So, why are you still talking to me? Why don't you get back to work?"

"Oh."

Xiaoli left reluctantly, her face puffy like a bun.

Not long after, Lilith came back from outside.

Lee only took one look at Lilith's expression to know something was wrong.

"Brother Li, you are such a jerk. Why are you talking so harshly? Now the lotus energy has run away!"

"She was the one who was looking for trouble. Why is she blaming me? Besides, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Brother Li, girls all have self-respect, so you should be more tactful."

Li said, I can't be tactful at all because I also have self-esteem.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, the little mission of the nun is over, it's time to do something big!"

Lilith immediately picked it up from the matter of Lian's departure. The big thing Li mentioned must be to save her mother.

"Is it really okay? Are you sure you want to go now? And take them with you?"

Lilith always wanted to urge Li to hurry up. The sooner the rescue was completed, the less suffering her mother would suffer.

But Li was too fast, so fast that Lilith couldn't react.

"gather!"

Hearing Li's call, the younger brothers immediately stopped what they were doing, holding kitchen knives and spatulas in their hands, and lined up in a row according to their size.

Caiyun Catering has gathered its employees together for a lecture, and everyone is used to this kind of situation.

"Ahem~ Let me say a few words here. You did a good job last time. Although the results were quite different, that was due to external factors. I appreciate your efforts!"

There was a burst of applause in the cafeteria.

"I hope you can all remain cautious and careful in your pursuit of truth, and give your all in every task!"

Li's support and encouragement made the younger brothers who were carrying out the mission for the first time very happy.

They have been marginal figures before, but now they can concentrate their energies on doing great things!

"Now, everyone interrupt your work in the cafeteria and gather at the secret base!"

"Good boss!"

The younger brothers were like chickens with their blood pumped up. Some were turning off the stoves, some were taking off their aprons.

The cafeteria was in a mess, like a flock of pheasants taking off.

"Brother Li, come on!"

At this point, there was not much Lilith could do. Looking at the collective mobilization of Caiyun Catering, a warm feeling burned in Lilith's heart.

Once upon a time, she was still alone. In order to find out about her parents, she used the identity of the secret society and lived like a rat.

Now, Lilith stands in the sun, has someone to rely on, and a brother who can protect her from the wind and rain.

"Ah, wait for our good news~"

Leaving Lilith at home to deal with the aftermath, Li led a large group of young mages to gather in the sewer.

The light of the magic lamp shines on every excited face.

These mutual aid members who were once isolated have now learned to smile confidently.

They were young and immature, but Li saw in them a tenacious spirit that refused to succumb to fate.

"Look at you all, you are so ugly!"

The young people in the mutual aid society have always looked rather cowardly. They are a little better now than before, but they still look cowardly.

Especially the various things they carry on their backs.

"We are going to rescue people, not to go camping. The one with the tent, put it down. And you, what's in your bulging pockets?"

After being taught a lesson by Li, the team members handed over a bunch of useless stuff.

Umbrellas, guitars, lots of snacks and drinks.

"I'll confiscate these first. I'll tell you the main points of this mission!"

The magic book jumped down from Li's waist, opened its big mouth and swallowed all the debris into its stomach.

Amid the contemptuous looks from his teammates, Li told them the most important thing when facing danger.

"Keep calm. If you can't do anything, just run!"

"Good boss!"

"Very good, I am very satisfied with your attitude. This is the second team building of our Fortune Catering. The code name of the operation is to save my aunt!"

As soon as the mission code was announced, the group of people who were full of enthusiasm suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Brother Li's naming ability is really..."

"Hmm? Who has any objections?"

"Listen to the boss!"

When Li Xun finished speaking, Amber, who had been waiting for a long time, yawned.

A circle of strong magical fluctuations burst out from Amber, and the magic condensed into the shape of a ring, encircling the people in the secret base.

There was a flash of light, and the collective teleportation magic was activated. When they opened their eyes the next moment, they had arrived at a mountain dozens of kilometers away from the royal capital.

It was Li's first time to come to the capital. Standing on the mountain and looking at the panoramic view of the capital, he felt shocked.

"The layout of the royal capital is really surprising."

Looking down from a high place, the entire capital looks like a Bagua diagram.

Such a shape appeared in the magical world, giving Li a sense of unreality.

"A long time ago, the capital had three main buildings. Later, the Mage Tower collapsed, and it became what it is now."

Amber walked to Li's side and hooked the flowing hair in front of her forehead with her hand.

The royal capital before us showed two distinct colors.

On the east side of the royal capital there is a castle that rises from the ground. The castle is located on a low hill and the brick and stone structure of the castle can be clearly seen.

After going through many changes in the world, there are still traces of past winds, frosts and wars on the outer walls of the castle.

"Is that the temple to the west?"

"Yes, the Holy Temple once controlled the entire capital. After technological innovation, the Holy Temple lost its glory and most of the control was returned to the king."

The cathedral is a large dome building with a huge square in front of it. There are heroic sculptures from various eras, as well as leisure and commercial areas.

The entire square occupies half of the West City. One can imagine how glorious the cathedral was during its heyday.

Li turned his head and looked at the collapsed building nearby.

The place where Amber was teleported to was a turret that had been abandoned for who knows how many years.

The magical cannon that once defended against foreign enemies had long been dismantled, leaving only the broken foundation and a few standing stones.

The stones are engraved with the names of various people who have visited here. It must have been a nice sight.

But now, the surrounding area is full of weeds and this place has long been abandoned.

"Nothing can defeat time."
